Tsys trading firmer but well off....>

US TSYS SUMMARY
US TSYS SUMMARY: Tsys trading firmer but well off early session highs, relative
quiet ahead FOMC minutes release. Rates pared gains earlier -- knock-on response
to Bbg headlines reporting German fed govt plans to increase bond & bill
issuance in 2019 by E10bln to E185bln total.
-  US$ index off lows/near mid-range, DXY -.089 to 95.167; US$/Yen .25 to
110.56, US$/Euro +.0017, 1.1588; equities rebound (emini +3.25, 2865.0); gold
little higher (XAU +0.17, 1196.23); West Texas crude strong (WTI +2.11, 67.95). 
- Decent volume for midday (TYU>1.1M) partially due to gradual increase in
futures rolling from Sep to Dec. Two-way positioning, light deal-tied flow in
short end (BoA $1.75B 2NC1), decent option-tied hedging ahead Fri's Sep
quarterly expiry.
- Day started w/moderate risk-off tone as market continues to digest late Tue US
political headlines, implications for Pres Trump (Pres Trump ex-lawyer Cohen
guilty plea, Manafort conviction), market pensive but taking it in stride
(becoming inured to noise out of Washington?). Tsy cash/ylds: 2Y 100-01.25
(2.600%), 5Y 100-05.5 (2.711%), 10Y 100-14 (2.823%), 30Y 100-09 (2.985%).
